Louisville Eviction Risk: Moderate

Cost burden runs about three-quarters here against 42.9% across Jefferson County. The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 9.2/10. The poverty rate is 32%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. Against the Jefferson County average of 4.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.4 points.

On the high side, economic stress reads 8/10. The filing record is not thin: 706 evictions over 14 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2014, when 24.7% of renter households were served.

This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Louisville. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. In a typical year about 18.3% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 70th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 8.2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
